Deep Dive principles
01
You do not need to be an expert to go deep. A deep dive is proof of interest, not proof of expertise. Collecting and connecting ideas is the point.
02
A deep dive in progress is often more honest than a finished masterclass. Incomplete and evolving is what real thinking looks like.
03
Every item in a deep dive was chosen by a human following genuine curiosity, not engagement metrics. That is rare and valuable.
04
Going deep on anything is a quiet pushback against slop culture. It is intentional friction over passive scrolling.
05
Your deep dive does not need to be comprehensive or correct on day one. It needs to exist so your thinking can evolve.
06
The more specific your obsession, the better. Specificity is taste, and taste is identity.
07
In an algorithmic world, a human-curated collection is inherently valuable. Your judgment matters.

Featured deep dives
Benjamin, Adorno, Horkheimer, And A Path Backward Through Hegel
by Jeff Richardson · 18 items
I've been reading Benjamin, Adorno, and Horkheimer, and the more I do the more I realize how much of what they're saying comes from conversations with the thinkers before them. It feels like walking into a room where everyone’s already mid conversation. This deep dive is my way of tracing those voices backward. I want to understand where ideas come from, how they evolve across time, and what they say about art, memory, and what it means to create something that feels alive.
Strange & Necessary
by Chronically Indigigoth · 0 items
Strange & Necessary is a deep dive into the gothic literature, film and folklore. It’s for the too-beautiful, the too-strange, the too-questioning creatures that unsettle the world simply by existing. Here I unravel history, film, and folklore while weaving in the threads of my own book. This is a candlelit diary of orphans, sin-eaters, poisons, crows, and heroines who reveal society’s hypocrisy and remind us that difference is not only strange, but necessary.
The Two Magics
by Jeff Richardson · 12 items
Deep Dives are your personal research projects, reading lists, and creative explorations. Think of them as curated collections that tell a story or explore a topic you're passionate about.
"Books that changed my perspective on creativity" or "Summer reading for entrepreneurs"
"The history of street photography" or "Understanding AI ethics through articles and videos"
"Artists who inspire my work" or "Design systems I love studying"
"Learning JavaScript from scratch" or "Understanding climate change through documentaries"
"Songs that got me through tough times" or "Photos from my travels"
"Resources I share with my team" or "Tools that make me more productive"
Create a deep dive and give it a title that captures your theme or topic.
Add articles, videos, photos, or any content that fits your exploration.
Share your collection with others or explore what the community has created.
